Encinitas, CA (PRWEB) October 25, 2007 -- Today's release of Pro Maps for Google™
from WebAssist brings the power and flexibility of Google Maps to an
even broader audience by taking the complexity out of integrating
Google Maps into web sites. Pro Maps for Google, an extension to Adobe
Dreamweaver, makes it possible for database-driven and manually entered
addresses to be displayed in a custom Google map on any
website--without complicated coding.
Pro Maps for Google steps the user through the options, and integration process, with an easy to use wizard.
Features include:
- Support
for street addresses and coordinates: Pro Maps for Google accepts
standard street addresses (both US and international format) as well as
coordinates (longitude and latitude). Multiple points can be mapped in
either or both formats.
- Works with manual and
database-derived entries: Users can enter their addresses or
coordinates one at a time or bind them from database-driven content.
Manual and database entries can be mixed in the same map.
- Driving
directions options: Include driving directions to your default
destination with the click of a checkbox. The starting location can be
manually entered, incorporated from a database or entered from a Web
page form.
- Full map controls made optional: Users can choose
from two different pan and zoom configurations, map type (map,
satellite, hybrid), inset and more.
- Real-time traffic
updates: Maps for major cities show where traffic is congested in over
30 major US metropolitan areas with color-coded overlays.
- Enhanced
address markers: Pro Maps for Google includes a library of seven
address markers: Google traditional/flat, Google traditional/pillow,
flag, pin, push pin and star, all in 11 different color schemes.
Individual markers can be assigned to different addresses or address
recordsets.
"Google Maps is an industry standard for navigating the world," said
Ray Borduin, Vice President of Engineering for WebAssist. "Now anyone
can integrate Google's feature rich maps with their database-powered
sites, whether they're in the US or--with our new support for
coordinates--anywhere else in the world via our step by step visual
wizard."
Pro Maps for Google is compatible with Dreamweaver CS3 and
Dreamweaver 8 on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. Pro Maps for
Google retails for $39.99, but is available for $19.99 as a special
introductory price until November 6, 2007 directly from WebAssist at www.webassist.com/go/googlepro.
